Been driving it the last few days.....wow what a remarkable difference. It’s way smoother and revs much more willingly than the 1HZ. Neat motor. The H152 made a HUGE change to the truck. Turning just about 2000 RPMs at 75mph....that’s about...
Last few bits and pieces got wrapped up.....upgraded the main tank’s fuel line and switching valve to the HDJ7x one. Need to pull the bed so we can run a 12mm hard line to the valve....maybe this week.
Got the prefilter and fuel filter...
Not a bad idea at all......wouldn't need the scooped hood either which would be ind of nice since I'm not crazy about having to get another hood plus paint, etc. Certainly easy enough to find room for a pump and heat exchanger on this...
Not yet. I'm probably going to do a top mount from Cross Country like on my camper truck but I want to collect all the stuff I need first....DPF hood, etc. Camper has a 1HDT so I'll have to get Cross Country to do a hybrid wide nose 79 to FT...
Pretty much finished under the hood....stole a FZJ80 air cleaner assembly off a parts truck and adapted it to make a 3.5” intake into the turbo. Catch can got mounted. AC all buttoned up. We ended up using a 2003 Tacoma compressor with an FT...
Started a new set today....these have the reflector cut to clear the fan so the bulb assembly is further back in the housing. Using a different shroud on these as well.
These might go black for the 70th anniversary look.....not 100% into the...
Not so sure I’m all about the look of them but their output is as good as any of the modern high dollar cars we work on. Amazing. My LX470 has a set of the H1 Morimoto Bi Xenons in it and these seem to have double the light output. The xenons...
I used these breathers.....saw some guys adding them so I figured it couldn’t hurt to have a little more venting since there is a fan in the lights now.
They’re crazy bright....pure white with an amazing cut off.
I drove my camper truck up to Virginia over the holidays and realized that the lights weren’t ideal(I run some higher end LED bulbs in them that are actually pretty good) and since we have always messed around with headlights in the shop, I...
No more projects of my own in 2024 :) I just need a nice clean one that I can swap transmissions and call it a day. Still thinking about using my super clean 91 for the manual......but an early 80 with a 1HDT and a manual will be a very cool rig.
91 or 92. No mods, no rust. I just want to drop my manual in it and have a nice driver. I swap a lot of 3FEs into 40s and with a manual behind them, nice motor with a manual. I have a super clean one that I bought the trans for but I'm going...
While the trans was out we popped in the bigger fuel pickup assembly. Used an HDJ79 part.
Because of the 80 series frame and the way it fits, this tank is really hard to get in and out....so we just dropped it enough to access the...
More fun.
We cut down the VDJ long input shaft to use as a clutch alignment tool.....I don’t know if using it made the trans slide in perfect or what but I don’t think I can ever remember a trans going in without any messing around. Slid...
Decided to treat myself to an H152. No real reason the truck needed a new trans but bringing down the RPMs on the highway was something I wanted to do. I’ve been driving this truck a lot more than I expected....should be a great combo.
Of...
